Directorate Changes

Best of the Best PLC (LSE: BOTB), the provider of online competitions to win
cars and other prizes, is pleased to announce that, following Globe Invest
Limited's acquisition of a 29.9% interest in the Company, Charles Butler has
been appointed Non-Executive Chairman, effective with immediate effect.

In conjunction with Charles' appointment, David Firth, BOTB's current
Chairman, will step down from his position but will remain on the Board as an
Independent Non-Executive Director.

Charles is a chartered accountant with over two decades' experience in senior
executive and Board level positions in growth and digital technology
businesses, including those quoted on AIM. His previous roles include being
CEO of Market Tech Holdings plc, a property and digital technology group which
he led from a successful AIM IPO, raising over £1 billion in equity and debt,
through to its subsequent takeover, and Group CEO at NetPlay TV, the
interactive gaming company. Charles is currently a Partner at Belerion
Capital, a private equity firm specialising in e-commerce and technology, and
is also a Non-Executive Director of Essensys Plc, Mysale Group Plc, and
chairman of Highcroft Investments plc, a REIT listed on the premium listing
segment of the Official List.

As previously announced on 8 September 2022, Globe Invest Limited ("GIL")
purchased 2,501,740 ordinary shares representing 29.9% of the Company's issued
share capital ("Ordinary Shares"). In-line with that share purchase Charles
has been appointed to strengthen the Board and help advise the Company on its
next stage of growth.

As at the date of this announcement, Charles does not personally have an
interest in the Ordinary Shares of the Company.

Commenting on the Board changes, CEO William Hindmarch, stated:

"Following on from GIL's investment, we are pleased to welcome Charles to the
Board as Non-Executive Chairman.  His significant experience in the sector
and track record of delivering shareholder value will be invaluable as we grow
the business in the UK and internationally.

We would like to thank David for his service as Chairman and we are delighted
he will remain on the Board as Independent Non-Executive Director."
